President of the Ijaw Youth Council IYC, Udengs Eradiri has asked the antigraft agencies to leave embattled former petroleum minister, Dieziani Alison Madueke alone and focus on other governors who have been accused of stealing from their state treasuries.

Dieziani is facing money laundering charges in the UK. In a media parley over the weekend, Udeng said that the recent arrest of Dieziani by the British police has shown that president Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign is targeted at the Ijaws.

“The UK government should stay away from Diezani. This was how they muscled up and now (Diepreiye) Alamieyeseigha is dead. Now they have started with Diezani. They should leave Ijaw People alone. Are there no other governors that have stolen? Go to UK, almost all the streets are owned by northerners who stole Nigeria money. As far as we are concerned, the anti-corruption fight is a fight against the Ijaw people. So why are they just on Goodluck Jonathan’s men, just to demonise Goodluck. As far as we are concerned, the anti-corruption fight is a fight against the Ijaw people. Goodluck should have won Nobel Prize for peace. Goodluck deserves a Nobel peace prize, Goodluck deserves respect from Nigerians,” he said

He also accused the relevant security agencies of turning a blind eye on illegal mining in the north which according to him, is mostly operated by retired generals
“They say oil theft is economic sabotage, what of the illegal mining that are going on in the north? Is that not worst economic sabotage?. At a point there was lead poisoning as a result of illegal mining. The monies that they realize from illegal mining is huge, why do we not have the JTF policing illegal miners, knowing full well that the money realised from gold illegally mined is far much more than money realized from stolen oil. Retired generals have mines of their own in the north, the statistics are there. Why are we not talking about those minerals in the north that are illegally mined to the pockets of individuals? Why is it that only Niger Delta oil that is in the pages of newspapers,” he asked.

Let them provide evidence of those who stole more than Diezani and Alameiyesegha instead of dealing in rhetoric.

All this mouth accusation is becoming very tiring and annoying to read.

TonyeBarcanista:
Dear IYC brothers, as much as I agree with you that no thief should be spared, I disagree on this call that UK should "leave our sister alone". It is unfortunate that our dear sister will join other thieves to loot our common patrimony(if allegation is true) while our people live in penury. Let her hire a good lawyer and defend herself.

This should be a lesson to others Izons in position of leadership.

In Nigeria, Mouth Accusation has replaced the courts. We accuse, indict and convict people from that hole in our faces.

You do it, I do it, PDP does it, APC does it, All NL members do it, EVERY one does it!

He made a very important point that we are not talking about: the illegal mining going on in the north ,why are we not talking about it, in comparism, is it not the same thing with illegal refining of crude oil from the south, yet FG send armed men to destroy refineries and kill yourth s in the south while Almajeries in the north enjoy their proceeds from mining. To hell with one Nigeria

JEGA01:
Relocate to Burundi

Nonsense Biafran

Rose2014:


This country is very complex with lots going on under the table.
Believe me when I say 'some things are better left unsaid'

Amaso99:
I'm not a pro Biafran and will never be in the future. The truth is i get pained each time i hear that Nigeria military destroys illegal refineries in the south while Almajery like YOU does mining in the north illegaly without being caught.

dearpreye:


My brother, longest time? All these Deziani talks ma wash. Anyone get solid evidence on her?

JEGA01:
All these your baseless allegations are born out of hate. You cannot provide evidence if asked to. So STFU!

joseph1832:


On the contrary bro, I don't do It. I never accuse anyone without having evidence or proof to back up my accusation. I'm not one who revel in generalization.

Amaso99:
What evidence do you want? That illegal mining activities is not taking place in the north

PRYCE:
Mr Joe, You've NEVER called GEJ a thief?
